Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: dev: fix skb drop check In commit a6d190f8c767 ("can: skb: drop tx skb if in listen only
mode") the priv->ctrlmode element is read even on virtual CAN
interfaces that do not create the struct can_priv at startup. This
out-of-bounds read may lead to CAN frame drops for virtual CAN
interfaces like vcan and vxcan. This patch mainly reverts the original commit and adds a new helper
for CAN interface drivers that provide the required information in
struct can_priv. [mkl: patch pch_can, too]
